These "defenders" methodically encircle the enemy positions and "patrol" until they meet a tumour cell, which they have previously learnt to recognise. They then halt ...

The findings are from the first in vivo animal study of chemically unmodified carbon nanotubes, a revolutionary nanomaterial that many researchers hope will prove useful in diagnosing and treating disease. The research will appear in this week's online edition of the Proceedings of the Nat...

To address this question, coauthor Beek Yoke Chin, PhD, developed a simulated blood vessel by growing the cells on a semi-permeable membrane, which enabled the two cell types to "communicate" with o...

"If you activate CEBP alpha by injection of tamoxifen, this chimeric protein is switched on and suppresses tumorigenesis." They also we...

They also found that the protein part of CEP-protein adducts is not important for producing the growth of the blood vessels. Ra...
